Questions
Can I keep rating on IMDb?
Yes. Logfolio isn't connected to IMDb. Export again later and only new titles come in.
Does my watchlist come over?
Yes, if you export it. Watchlist titles land in your Watchlist shelf.
Do episodes come over?
No. Films and shows come over; episodes, video games and podcasts are left out.
